Took advantage of the 3 yr oil change deal for $199 at my local BMW dealership for my '08 550i with the N62TU; told them I wanted LL01 oil in it which I believe is a 5W30 oil. Just looked at the invoice and it looks like they filled it with their 0W30 LL01FE oil. These engines are technically back specced for that oil, but I'm wondering if I should have them replace it with the 5W30 oil. I don't track it, mostly daily driving duty, and the temps have been mild here in the coastal bend of texas. I'm running 6k mile intervals.
I pick up the car tomorrow.
For reference, here is the 5W30 LL01 oil that shows to be available: https://www.shopbmwusa.com/PRODUCT/6428/BMW-TWINPOWER-TURBO-5W-30-ENGINE-OIL---1-LITER
